Voltorb (/ ˈ v ɔː l t ɔːr b / ⓘ), known in Japan as Biriridama (Japanese: ビリリダマ), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise.First introduced in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, they were created by Ken Sugimori, appearing in the earliest design document for the game.
Diagram of a simple time bomb in the form of a pipe bomb. The explosive charge is the main component of any bomb, and makes up most of the size and weight of it. It is the damaging element of the bomb (along with any fragments or shrapnel the explosion might produce with its container or neighboring objects).
The player moves a character across an 11 by 16 grid of tiles with the goal of diffusing a timebomb occupying one square of the grid. This must be done before the timer on the bomb reaches zero (taking about five seconds). [1] Each time the player moves by one tile, a note of Beethoven's Für Elise are played using the ZX Spectrum's "beeper ...
Nuclear bomb designed to fit inside a suitcase. 1950s Thermometric bomb: Also called a vacuum bomb, or aerosol bomb, this explosive disperses a cloud of gas or liquid. Time bomb: A bomb that is triggered by the timer. Trinitrotoluene: Commonly known as TNT. 1863 Julius Wilbrand: Germany: Unguided bomb: An air-craft dropped bomb that lacks a ...
The first use of a time bomb in software may have been in 1979 with the Scribe markup language and word processing system, developed by Brian Reid.Reid sold Scribe to a software company called Unilogic (later renamed Scribe Systems [2]), and agreed to insert a set of time-dependent functions (called "time bombs") that would deactivate freely copied versions of the program after a 90-day ...
An antimatter weapon is a theoretically possible device using antimatter as a power source, a propellant, or an explosive for a weapon.Antimatter weapons are currently too costly and unreliable to be viable in warfare, as producing antimatter is enormously expensive (estimated at US$6 billion for every 100 nanograms), the quantities of antimatter generated are very small, and current ...
A gunpowder bomb made with cast iron shell and fitted with a fuse, as illustrated in the Huolongjing. Documented evidence suggests that the earliest fuses were first used by the Song Chinese between the 10th and 12th centuries. After the Chinese invented gunpowder, they began adapting its explosive properties for use in military technology.
Other, mainly older explosive lenses do not include a wave shaper, but employ two explosive types that have significantly different velocities of detonation (VoD), which are in the range from 5 to 9 km/s. The use of the low- and high-speed explosives again results in a spherical converging detonation wave to compress the physics package.
